So today Marie and I (kate) went to the McGill library and had a scan through the 1915 'Construction: A Journal for the Architectural Engineering & Contracting Interests of Canada'. Although there were no major article dedicated to concrete there was lots of little tid bits of info about where our architects could have gotten some of their references and information from.
We found that at the beginning of each Journal publication they had a bit of an overview of events that had taken place all over the country, for example mention of the Feb 15 Quebec Association of Architects Trade Show. Also in the Dec. issue they had a few pages at the back that were more or less a caption of the entire year and referred specifically to the completion of particular buildings. We scanned a few pgs and I am going to try and figure out how to post them so bare with me.
Marie also put in a request for a number of the other micro-films. From 1908 to 1914 and then a few other years specific to our buildings (I believe). They are at the reference desk in the Blackader Lauterman Lib. The films have to be pulled from storage so we will let you know when they are available if you are interested in going to take a look at them. I think it would be worth while and also they are super fun to scan/scroll through!
bye for now....
